Ventura police will conduct a checkpoint

Ventura police will conduct a DUI/driver's license checkpoint from 8 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday at an undisclosed location.

Police will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers also will check for proper licensing.

Police said those caught driving while impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, classes on driving under the influence and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

Funding for the checkpoint is provided through a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
